After the martial arts competition, Yu Qiu Shang was taken back to Wakae Castle by Morita Yasho and other guards of the Hatakeyama family. Yu Qiu Ping and Imagawa Kaede will stay in Kyoto for one night, and will return to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle tomorrow morning to take charge.
The residence in Kyoto is antique and quite interesting. After a chat with Yu Qiupei, Imagawa Kaede huddled in Yu Qiupei's arms and fell asleep sweetly. Yu Qiuping looked down and saw Imagawa Kaede's white shoulders and
The rosy plump breasts were looming, causing him to feel hot again. He pulled the quilt and covered Imagawa Kaede's shoulders, worried that she would catch a cold at night.
·
I don't know what time he fell asleep, but Yu Qiuping suddenly woke up from his sleep. Next to him, Imagawa Feng seemed to be disturbed by Yu Qiuping's movements. He stretched sleepily and asked softly: "Ping, what's the matter?"
Yu Qiuping himself was in a trance, but his body seemed to be out of his control. He was pushed to his feet by an indescribable force. Then, he walked straight to the door.
"What's wrong?" Imagawa Kaede was also frightened awake by Yu Qiuping's movements, "What happened?"
"Don't worry." Although Yu Qiuping's body was still moving forward inexplicably, he turned his head and smiled at Imagawa Kaede, trying to reassure her, "I'm going to use the toilet."
However, as he said these words, his steps suddenly became faster, and the surrounding scenery instantly became blurred. There was only a paper door left in front of him - that was the room of Asai Nagamasa who lived across the corridor from him.
.In the evening, he and Imagawa Kaede had dinner with Asai Nagamasa and Aichi and his wife in this elegantly decorated room.
He quickly rushed to the door and suddenly opened the paper door. What appeared in front of him was not the familiar room, but an open space - the original room had disappeared. And in the middle of the open space, stood
The burning Odani Castle Castle Tower!
Yu Qiuping was shocked and rushed towards the castle tower in panic. He jumped over several overturned burning beams and shuttled between tongues of flames. The heat of the fire made him feel as if his whole body was about to evaporate. He was in Xiaogu
We walked through the corridors of the castle tower, went upstairs, circled, and went upstairs again, and circle and circle, and finally rushed to the top floor of the castle tower, where Asai Nagamasa lived. Even though she was still standing outside the door, the woman inside the house was sad and sad.
The sound of crying was so clear - it was Ah Shi's voice.
He opened the paper door and saw Nagamasa Asai, dressed in white, standing in the center of the burning room, wiping a sharp rib against the moonlight coming in from the window. And Ashi, dressed in messy clothes, was kneeling on his knees.
On the floor, hugging Asai Nagamasa's thigh tightly, she was already crying into tears.
"Brother?" "Brother Hongye?" After seeing Yu Qiuping appear, Ashi and Asai Nagamasa both turned around and exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Hongye! Go and persuade His Highness Nagamasa!" As soon as Ashi saw Yu Qiuping coming, he stretched out his hands and wailed as if he saw a life-saving straw, "I don't want him to die! He wants to commit seppuku! Please!
Please persuade him together! I can persuade my brother not to embarrass His Highness Nagamasa! Your Highness, I beg you not to die!"
"Brother, take Aichi and leave quickly. The castle tower is on fire. It will be dangerous if you don't leave." However, although Asai Nagamasa also had tears in his eyes, he said resolutely and solemnly.
"Your Highness! Ah Shi has never begged anyone in his life. How about I beg you as a concubine this time?" After hearing what Asai Nagamasa said, Ah Shi burst into tears again. "A Shi is willing to spend the rest of his life with you.
If you are together, even if you have no freedom for the rest of your life, it doesn't matter if you are under house arrest! We still have Chacha, Achu, Shinkuro, and Ajiang! They are still young and cannot live without their father! What will they do if you leave?
What should I do?"
"Aichi..." Asai Nagamasa listened to Aichi's cry, and two lines of male tears slowly flowed down his cheeks. However, the sound of tongues of flames devouring the wood around him became more violent, urging him not to delay any longer. He
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly knelt down and gently kissed Ah Shi's pale lips. Looking at Ah Shi's red and swollen eyes, he suddenly smiled.
He stretched out his hand, helped Ashi straighten his messy hair, and whispered in the gentlest tone of his life:
"A
City, you are so beautiful."
Then, the hands that were helping Ah Shi fix his hair suddenly fell down and hit Ah Shi hard on the back of his neck.
"I love you."
Ah Shi's body shook violently, her eyes full of surprise and compassion. She used her last strength and will to look deeply at Asai Nagamasa, as if she wanted to carve his appearance deeply into her mind.
Asai Nagamasa's body helplessly slumped in Asai Nagamasa's arms, and a drop of crystal clear tears also slid down Asai Nagamasa's cheek and onto Asai's delicate face. Asai Nagamasa slowly helped the fainted Asai.
Put it on the floor, and then pretended to be strong and whispered to Yu Qiuping: "Brother, I have caused trouble to you. Ah Shi and the children, please leave it to you."
Then, there was a flash of cold light.
·
"Nagamasa!"
Yu Qiuping screamed and woke up suddenly from his sleep.
"Is this a dream?" Yu Qiuping covered his head in severe pain and muttered to himself in a daze.
Next to him, Imagawa Kaede seemed to be disturbed by Yu Qiuping's movements. He stretched sleepily and asked softly: "Ping, what's the matter?"
However, these words and actions were the same as those in the situation just now, but Yu Qiuping instantly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
Which one is a dream? Which one is reality?
He sat up suddenly, but his body couldn't stop shaking. He stood up as if he could hardly control it, and walked straight towards the door.
"What's wrong?" Imagawa Kaede was also frightened awake by Yu Qiuping's movements, "What happened?"
"Don't worry..." Although his voice was trembling, Yu Qiuping, who walked to the door, still tried his best to turn his head and smiled at Imagawa Kaede, "I'm going to use the toilet."
After saying this, he gently closed the door of the room. Then, he immediately strode towards Asai Nagamasa's house. The pace became faster and faster, and in the end it was close to sprinting. He
He rushed to Asai Nagamasa's door and pressed his hand on the door handle of Asai Nagamasa's room——
But suddenly he didn't dare to open the door.
In other words, he did not dare to face the history of his previous life. He did not dare to face the fact that it was very likely to happen soon.
Just when his face was at war with nature and his body was shaking uncontrollably, a little girl's voice suddenly came from inside the room.
"Mom, there were sudden heavy footsteps outside! What's going on!"
That's the sound of tea.
The little girl's coquettish voice made Yu Qiuping suddenly feel at ease.
"Chacha, don't be afraid, maybe someone got up in the morning to go to the toilet." Ashi's silver bell-like voice came next, "It's still early, it's only the first quarter of the morning, Chacha, be good, sleep a little longer."
"Chacha can't sleep!"
"Chacha is not being nice like this. Look how well Ah Chu sleeps." Ah Shi's slightly reproachful but loving voice sounded again.
"That's because Ah Chu didn't go to watch Brother Shang's game together! Brother Shang was so awesome yesterday!" Chacha said excitedly, seeming to wave her two little hands.
"Okay Chacha, don't disturb your sister when she sleeps." Asai Nagamasa's gentle but reassuring male voice also sounded immediately, and he seemed to touch the little girl's head, "Listen to mom."
·
Yu Qiuping stood outside the door, blankly listening to the happy and warm conversation of the family inside the house. He heard every word clearly, but could not remember a word.
Because there was a voice in his heart that was yelling constantly, as if it wanted to wake him up.
If Yu Qiuping doesn't do something, you will never hear such a conversation again.
If history repeats itself, this happy and warm family will soon be torn apart. This family will each embark on their own tragic life and will never go back.
Yu Qiuping did not hesitate and turned around to leave. He did not worry about the pajamas he was wearing, but walked directly towards Oda Nobunaga's residence. After explaining to the guard on duty at the door that he requested an audience immediately, the guard on duty went in to report
.
piece
After a while, the guard let Yu Qiuping in.
After Yu Qiuping entered the room, he found Oda Nobunaga, who was also wearing pajamas and leaning sleepily on the desk to breathe. As soon as he saw Yu Qiuping, he waved the folding fan in his hand demonstratively and cursed with a smile:
"Wake me up early in the morning. If you can't tell me anything important, Hongye, I will find someone to beat you up! Oh no, I will find someone to wake you up in the middle of the night every day."
"Yes, my lord." After Yu Qiuping bowed solemnly, he sat upright and politely. After Oda Nobunaga saw Yu Qiuping being so formal, he also frowned slightly and became serious.
"Your Majesty, I dare to speculate on your superiors' intentions. I wonder if my lord is going to take action against the Asakura family?" Yu Qiuping was not in the mood for small talk and went straight to the topic.
"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga was stunned when he heard this, then chuckled twice and said, "How can you see that?"
"His Royal Highness Asakura didn't come to the tea party a few days ago, and no one from the Asakura family even came. Such behavior is extremely disrespectful to the Oda family." Yu Qiuping paused and whispered again: "I'm the next one.
I thought that the lord would be furious, but it turned out that the lord was not. I have made a wild guess that maybe the lord had expected that His Highness Asakura would not come. This banquet was deliberately set up to make the Asakura family fall into the trap of 'ignoring the general's orders'
The excuse is so that our family can justifiably conquer the Asakura family."
"Hongye understands me! Hahahaha..." After Yu Qiuping finished his speculation, Oda Nobunaga immediately laughed with satisfaction, "I only discussed this matter with Sado. I didn't expect you, Hongye, to understand me on your own.
That’s right! Very good, very good!”
"This is not the main point." After Yu Qiupei saw that Oda Nobunaga actually agreed directly, his face became serious and he said: "If this kind of thing really happens, how do you plan to worry about the position of the Asai family?"
"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows when he heard this, stared at Yu Qiuping with falcon-like eyes, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"The Asai family is not only an ally of our Oda family, but also an ally of the Asakura family. If the Oda family and the Asakura family are at war with each other, it will definitely be very difficult! What is your highness going to do?" Yu Qiupei ignored Oda Nobunaga's gaze.
, asked anxiously.
After saying this, Oda Nobunaga did not reply immediately, and Yu Qiuping didn't know what to ask further. The air in the room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became a little strange. Big beads of sweat were on Yu Qiuping's forehead.
Qin Chu, he didn't understand what Oda Nobunaga's silence meant. Did he really want to deal with the Asai family and the Asakura family together like in history?
After a long time, Oda Nobunaga suddenly hit Yu Qiupei's head hard with a folding fan, and then said with a smile: "I know, your boy is Nagamasa's adopted brother, and has an old relationship with the Asai family, and Nagamasa and Aichi's
You arranged the marriage yourself, so you have a good relationship with the Asai family, so you are worried about them, right?"
"Don't worry, the Asai family is our loyal ally to the Oda family. They have done their best for the Oda family in several wars. They are not the same as the Asakura family who have evil intentions." Oda Nobunaga's words left Yu Qiuping hanging.
His heart gradually relaxed, "Besides, Asai Nagamasa is different from Asakura Yoshikage, who is just waiting to die. He is the best among people. Otherwise, how could Yu marry Yu's precious sister to him? Yu values him very much.
Think of him as Yu’s assistant in assessing the troubled times. Yu’s pace is very fast and he needs heroes who can keep up with Yu’s pace. How could he let such a good talent go?"
"Don't worry." Oda Nobunaga repeated with a smile. At the same time, he patted Yu Qiupei's shoulder and promised again, "I will not take action against the Asakura family without the consent of the Asai family. Absolutely not.
I will quarrel with the Asai family because of Asakura Yoshikage."
"That way, I can rest assured." Yu Qiuping kowtowed repeatedly in relief and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you so much, Lord!"
Yes, in the history of this life, the cooperation between the Asai family and the Oda family is far closer than that in Uakihei's previous life. Oda Nobunaga's regard for Asai Nagamasa, and the bond between the Oda family and the Asai family must be far greater than before.
A generation.
History will not repeat itself. My lord has promised me, right?
